Kount Command is now available as a plugin for all payment gateways that Aspenware supports. This enhancement utilizes APIs provided by Kount to insert the KOUNT query/response either PRE or POST authorization. - known as KOUNT Command. Specific features include:

• Integration to the Kount API before the credit card is sent to authorize. https://kount.github.io. This happens in the pre-payment validation step - Kount begins tracking the session as soon as the customer clicks “checkout”, before a call is made to the payment gateway. The Therefore, the resort doesn't incur transaction fees for a decline.

• In addition to passing in all required fields, the Product Date is also passed through to Kount as a user-defined field so that resorts can prioritize investigating same-day bookings or bookings for tomorrow as these have the highest fraud potential.

Aspenware Commerce now integreates integrates with Windcave as a Payment Providerpayment provider.

Aspenware is excited to offer Windcave as another payment gateway for the Commerce platform. Available later this month, Windcave is a truly international, tokenized payment gateway, enabling resorts to address business needs around the globe.

Windcave is also unique in that the resort may select the acquiring bank. This allows flexibility in selecting bank affiliation rather than being limited to a particular bank or network selected by the payment gateway provider. Having this option to choose enables resorts to consolidate bank relationships across the enterprise which eases the workload for reporting and interchange rate negotiation and simplifies agreements with credit card providers. Adding this payment gateway is yet another way Aspenware is committed to offering resorts choices and flexibility in configuring their ecommerce solution.
